the benefit of the Sunday School
children, when candies and toys were
given to the scholars. This year it
Is proposed to give the childred each

but instead of the children receiving
presents, they are requested to con-
tribute something for the poor in our
town. And this feature will not he
confined alone to the children, but
our citizens generally are requested

Notice to Our Subscribers.

We dislike to be constantly dun
ming our dellnquents and would
not do so now if our necessities would
permit us to he silent, but we wish
to pay our Indebtedness and continue
our business, and that cannot be done
unless we are paid for our paper. We
have so far succeeded in maintaining
onr position without placing our bills
in the hands of officers or attorneys
for collection, but from the present
outlook we lear that we shall be
obliged to adopt such course in the
near future. We do not intend to
send out bills generally. as has been
our custom in the past, but shall ex-
pect each of our subscribers to come
fora0ard and settle. or send all or part
of their indebtness, aoithout deldy.
We need what you owe US noaC. Don't
read this n0ti:e and let the matter
rest, thinking that your mite is of no
consequence five or six hundred
such mites would make large sum.
If this notice is not headed in reas-
enable time we will consider the
propriety of placing our accounts in
the hands of an attorney for collec-
ton.

Powers.

At the request of the Secretary of
our county Board of Health, DR.. j.
Lee McComas, we give the following
extracts from the laws of the State,
defining the duties and powers of
Local Boards of Health:
The Act creating a State Board for
Maryland was passed by the Legisla-
ture in 1874. but repealed and re-
enacted in 1880, and provides for a
Board of seven members to be APP
pointed by the Governor, and to have
general care of the sanitary interests
of the State.
The Act establishing Local Boards
for each county was passed in 1886,
which provides that the Board of
County Commissioners of the several
counties shall, ex-officio, constitute a
Local Board of Health for their re-
spective counties, and shall have and
exercise all the duties of a Board OF
Health. 1t provides that such Local
Board of Health shall appoint an
nually, in the month of May, or as
soon thereafter as practicable. a coun-
ty Health Officer. who shall be well
educated physician, and who by vir-
tue of such appointment, shall be the
Secretary Of the Board and Execu-
tive Officer provided, that such
Health Officer shall, if required by
the Board of County Commissioners

service as may be needed by persons
